Medical Xpress / Soft, sticky, stretchable biosensors can pick up signals through hair, sweat, bending and stretching
Biosensors have revolutionized home health care over the past two decades. Devices like wearable heart rate and blood glucose monitors are giving people with chronic health conditions the information and assurance they need ...
Phys.org / Queen bee pheromones help daughters decide whether to stay or leave the nest
Female sweat bees need to make a pivotal life decision: remain in the nest to help their mother raise more offspring or leave to establish nests of their own. New research from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Building immunity: Tissue-resident immune cells defend human lungs from viral, bacterial, and fungal infections
New research led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Liverpool (UOL) provides the first comprehensive look at how a hidden immune cell army defends the vast, vulnerable tissue of ...
Phys.org / Single molecule becomes quantum sensor for imaging proteins at nanoscale
A new quantum sensing technique could enable measurements of single protein structures and other important molecules, with potential applications in drug discovery and structural biology. A research team from the Institute ...
Medical Xpress / How brain cells restore healthy growth and connections after a disease-causing genetic deletion
Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion. Instead of repairing the ...
Phys.org / New research shows how 'hot electrons' can reshape metals in billionths of a second
Researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed how intense electronic excitation can trigger rapid structural changes in metals—without heating the atomic lattice—offering new insight into ultrafast materials behavior.
Phys.org / Psychologist develops puzzle that can tell you how fast you think
A puzzle that can tell players how fast they think on their feet has been developed by a University of Leeds researcher.
Phys.org / Scientists uncover two new ways doxycycline disables bacterial ribosomes
Scientists have discovered two new mechanisms for how a well-established antibiotic works, paving the way for the potential development of new antibiotic treatments.
Phys.org / AI finds tiny gene editor changes that reduce unintended DNA edits
Gene editing is a highly precise and powerful technology that allows scientists to insert, delete, modify or replace DNA bases in living organisms. It has a variety of uses, including correcting disease-causing mutations ...
Medical Xpress / Human tissue model tracks glioblastoma invasion cell by cell
Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor and is among the most aggressive cancers in humans. Despite multimodal therapy with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, there is still no cure. A major reason is the tumor's invasive ...
Phys.org / A quantum heat engine that simultaneously provides work and refrigeration
The laws of thermodynamics state that heat naturally flows from hotter systems or regions to colder systems or regions until a state of thermal equilibrium is reached. This simple principle underpins the operation of numerous ...
Phys.org / Thousands of America's historic landmarks face significant wildfire risk
When the Palisades Fire tore through Los Angeles in January 2025, it didn't only destroy homes. It took the Will Rogers Ranch House—a beloved California landmark—with it. Six months later, the Dragon Bravo wildfire burned ...
